'''More Tacks''' is the [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It increases the number of tacks fired per shot from 8 to 10.

'''More Tacks''' is the [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooter]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade increases the number of tacks fired per shot from 8 to 10.

Crosspathing with [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]] and [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]] increases its main attack's [[damage]] by 1.

Crosspathing with upgrades improves the Tack Shooter's other attacks:

* [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]] and [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]] increases its main attack's [[damage]] by 1.

~~Crosspathing with~~ [[Blade Maelstrom (BTD6)|Blade Maelstrom]] ~~increases the~~ duration ~~of its ability~~ by 0.5 seconds, and [[Super Maelstrom (BTD6)|Super Maelstrom]]'s duration is increased by 1.5. Additionally, the ability spin direction is reversed (from clockwise to counter-clockwise).

* [[Blade Maelstrom (BTD6)|Blade Maelstrom]] gain increased ability duration by 0.5 seconds, and [[Super Maelstrom (BTD6)|Super Maelstrom]]'s duration is increased by 1.5 seconds. Additionally, the ability spin direction is reversed (from clockwise to counter-clockwise).<section end="lede" />

The extra tacks granted by More Tacks is ~~not worth the price when upgrading from~~ a 0-0-0 Tack Shooter, thus More Tacks is only recommended as a crosspath, in which case purchasing the subsequent upgrade, {{BTD6|Even More Tacks}}, is recommended in nearly all cases.

The extra tacks granted by More Tacks is overpriced on a 0-0-0 Tack Shooter, thus More Tacks is only recommended as a crosspath, in which case purchasing the subsequent upgrade, {{BTD6|Even More Tacks}}, is recommended in nearly all cases. In edge cases where a specific budget doesn't allow for Even More Tacks, More Tacks is still beneficial as a cheap bonus granted for free with [[Primary Mentoring (BTD6)|Primary Mentoring]], giving higher DPS to the Tack Shooter. Altered spin direction for [[Blade Maelstrom (BTD6)|Blade Maelstrom]] and [[Super Maelstrom (BTD6)|Super Maelstrom]] is niche and is mainly useful when spinning against the grain, but the extra duration is always helpful to sustain the ability instead of a bigger burst.

More Tacks is ~~optimal~~ for ~~Inferno Ring when pierce buffs such as {{~~BTD6|~~Berserker Brew}} and {{~~BTD6|~~Primary Training}} are available, Ring of Fire when range and pierce are not an issue, and~~ Blade Maelstrom and Super Maelstrom when ~~reliability~~ instead of burst ~~damage is required for the mid-game. More Tacks is generally not recommended as a crosspath for {{BTD6|Hot Shots}} and {{BTD6|Blade Shooter}}~~.
